Mont Orford

I am a big fan of Mont Orford. It boasts a vertical very close to that of Tremblant (1,932 feet). Plus it has an extra two mountains as a bonus. Tremblant’s still bigger, but I like Mont Orford a lot.

Friendly staff. Modern lifts (even a hybrid gondola/chair). Challenging terrain. A Quebec ski vacation without the glitz and glamour of the big guys.

You won’t find slopeside accommodations, but the local inns and B&B’s are welcoming. Well worth checking out.

I was lucky enough to run into a local, Marc Jussaume, who showed me around. Specifically Mont Giroux, which I might have overlooked entirely, thinking it was reserved for instruction. Not at all—many excellent, high speed runs to enjoy. My thanks to Marc !

About First Tracks

Hi. I'm Dave Owen.
First Tracks Video first originated as a collection of skier POV videos of runs, meant to help you decide where to go on a ski vacation. All shot by yours truly.
After much thought, I realized I needed to cover more mountains, much sooner, in order to provide you with any meaningful benefit. And I couldn’t do it alone. (Although I could have had fun trying…)
So First Tracks Video now features third party content—videos from skiers around the world.
More mountains. More resorts. More runs.
I hope you’ll join me on this journey.
David Owen
Chief Video Officer
